40×2 November 27, 2009

Day 1 – Sunday – OOOOOhhhh wee! The part of the message I heard in church today told me what had to be done (Matthew 19:1-15). God designed marriage for a specific reason and should not derail from it. Scripturally God does not allow divorce. It only came about during Moses’ time because the Children of Israel had hardened their hearts. If you’re single – which I am, remain single. God knows your heart and desires. What a first day. My praise session with Kirt Franklin moved me – I am strong enough. This won’t last.

Day 2 – Temptation will come. One of my “friends” colleagues emailed and said they were slightly upset cause we couldn’t chat after my business was completed in their office. Some customer interrupted his plans at the last minute. I left him to tend to his business. He obviously had something on his mind. After emailing back and forth he made it known. Another married man (with two kids, one only a month old) commenting that I’m very attractive and would like to be friends at least. Throughout the whole conversation and prior I knew I had to deal with him and break the 40 Day Fast news. But me and my mind rationalized, we’re just friends, it’s just conversation. No big deal right?! I wouldn’t get tempted – which I haven’t.

Day 3 – Revelation – To Trust God Is To Trust God. If He Says Don’t There Is A Reason And Benefit Behind It. By me wanting to keep “talking to my married guy friends” doesn’t show my faith in listening or learing from the lesson. Trust God With All Your HEART———-all your MIND——– all your STRENGTH!
